Up Here For Dancing

by Tono and the Finance Company

supported by

Whyte Rushan just something about a real estate shortage, that caught my attention, when all the old folks are about to pass away, and I thought gen x, and real estate signs Favorite track: Marion Bates Realty.

Laszlo Szidonya Timing is just perfect. From a chance meeting I quickly became a fan. Thanks for the music, the voice, the lyrics! Favorite track: Timing.

mitch If there were a movie about the 2000s, this would be the soundtrack. Tonnon excels at storytelling and setting a musical background (a very danceable one, too!) about the oddities and eccentricities of millenial life in these modern times. Favorite track: Timing.

Alice I have listened to this album so many times at his point that I''m pretty sure when I think of my music for 2014, it will have to come up. Favorite track: Timing.

Joyce I'm so vain. 'Merica Favorite track: Up Here For Thinking, Down There For Dancing.

HP What a treat. Opening number Multiple Lives is a slow indie groove with Anthonie Tonnon casting the magnifying glass on the seemingly benign. His thuck accent recounts at that at 21, he is too old to “learn a new language” or “try to like beetroot in a sandwich”. Despite this he has a young and fresh perspective which is portrayed magnificently through his story telling and attention to detail. Favorite track: Twenty-three.

The fave song title has to be a pun on the Canadian national anthem and yes I'm late to this party :) Liked the light touch to the extra strings and horns. Just enough to add colour and swing. Jason Kemp
